The haiku exercise sounds a really useful "first thoughts" exercise as well.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-11756015539572351382012-02-09T18:29:49.021+00:002012-02-09T18:29:49.021+00:00I used to use notebooks with different coloured se...I used to use notebooks with different coloured sections, but that lead to a lot of wasted paper because I felt the idea had to fit the colour of the paper.

Thanks for telling us about it. I have one of those fold-over notebooks, like your cat one. Mine has butterflies and a gorgeous young woman in profile. It was a present when I left Manchester in Oct 2010 and is almost full of stuff to do with the novel I'm writing...I can't get enough notebooks! And I've written haiku too. It is great fun, whatever the result.adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-9983612690871521132012-02-09T10:01:34.069+00:002012-02-09T10:01:34.069+00:00I find if I have a lovely book, I'm more likel...I find if I have a lovely book, I'm more likely to write in it - shallow, but true! I don't use these for drafting etc - I have A4 books for that. But they have to have cheerful covers.<br /><br />Elli - it is good to have a mix of ages. It's fascinating to hear some of the stories that the older people in particular come out with - an eye witness description of the Blitz and its aftermath, for instance.Sue Purkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084528571944803477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-43029586569966148152012-02-09T09:26:43.924+00:002012-02-09T09:26:43.924+00:00How lovely that you've kept your old books.

I recently witnessed a class in our local library in which teenagers from the local school were teaching computer skills to pensioners - it restored my faith in human nature.Ellihttp://wordstroll.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-70157513087324462272012-02-09T09:10:47.286+00:002012-02-09T09:10:47.286+00:00Ah notebooks - I've just finished a moleskin o...Ah notebooks - I've just finished a moleskin one. I know it looks tatty now, and some of the pages are unhinged, but it's been with me for so long I'm still carrying it around (plus a new one) I'm not quite ready to commit it to the storage drawer!JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-49280876869715612272012-02-09T08:41:30.181+00:002012-02-09T08:41:30.181+00:00What beautiful books!
